Half the changed data is missing from the patch notes (like the tiny detail that the Thor with its single-target-AA attack shoots faster than the regular AoE attack). | ||

Just a bit of balancing might remain, however the design of the game is now fantastic! Just because of this? O_O | ||

(Assuming that you didn't have time to issue another attack command, e.g. you killed a marine instantaneously.) As long as the interceptors are still outside of the carrier, they can receive new attack commands from leash range. Once they touch the carrier, they need to be redeployed from launch range.

The reality is that in Wings of Liberty the carrier behaved the same no matter who used them. They weren't hard to micro. They could not be microed. Now, if you micro, they are a bit better.

It could be that the HotS beta has had leashed target switching since the patch that you documented, but I only discovered it last night and I've found no record of it being mentioned on YouTube, reddit, TL.net, or the official SC2 forums. Did Blizzard give you any notes on a carrier change? It could be they meant it was leash target switching but in communicating it to you the message was jumbled. | ||

(Assuming that you didn't have time to issue another attack command, e.g. you killed a marine instantaneously.) If you do not issue a new attack target to the carrier within leash range then the interceptors will dutifully return to the carrier. Micro is required. If there is a target within launch range, however, that will be auto-acquired. | ||
